Anyone in Bay Area know how to fix w211 door handle?
I was wondering if anyone was handy and knew how to fix my e63 w211 door handles. I had the front driver side fixed but the 3 others buttons started failing.

I recommend you just replace the handles. Only takes 30-45 minutes the first time and at least on the front doors, you do not need to remove the inner door panel; all work is performed from the outside.
The linked thread is missing the photos but if you go to post #158 and then to 4:30 in the video it will show you how easy it is for the front handle. There is another post or two in the thread which shows how to repair although that is no guarantee. Also a couple of posts concerning the rear door handles.

Literally pull back the weatherstripping, loosen the T20 torx screw, remove the lock assembly with the key cylinder while carefully disconnecting the wiring harness, slide handle a quarter inch over and gently remove while disconnecting the Keyless-Go connector. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly.

I've tried eBay, but had to send back as the buttons didn't work.
